I was a very active participant in the anti-poll-tax movement, and it is obvious who our number one opponent was. But that doesn't make me side with the IRA any more than it made me side with the military junta in Argentina. However, the passing of Maggie might cause sorrow to some people, but not, I suspect, to the vast majority of folk here in Scotland. I wonder what the most appropriate music to mark the occasion might be? The Halleluja Chorus might be a bit much, but how about "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" (as sung by the munchkins in the "Wizard of Oz") ? |
would you have chuckled had the ra got her though? come on now be honest......

| Galloway has always been a Brit to the core so it's ironic seeing this happening to him. Like the Brit left who follow him, his idea of national liberation is "anywhere but here" (i.e. Chiapas, Palestine etc etc, but not Scotland). |

The difference of course being Scotland is part of a free country already.
Palestine is an occupied territory, and I've never once heard Galloway refer to the Chiapas...

You don't think the majority of Scotland supported Margaret Thatcher's tough line against the IRA?
Ha.
